Dr. Todd Sullivan is Professor and Director of the School of
Music at Northern Arizona University. Before joining the NAU School of Music in
2006, he taught at Indiana State University (where he also served as Chairman
of the Department of Music), Northwestern University, and DePaul University.

His publications and paper presentations reflect a variety
of research areas:

Recent scholarly activities include “The Eternal Return
(2002): A Multimedia Collage by Matt Marello,” an article entitled “Popular
Music at the Crossroads: Terre Haute, Indiana, before the 1930s” in the
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of the Cyprus Musicological
Society, and the article “Developing Faculty on the Tenure-Track” in Proceedings
of the National Association of Schools of Music.

He devotes considerable attention toward bridging the
communication gap between scholars and the listening public. Dr. Sullivan is an
internationally published program annotator, having contributed articles to
major organizations in the United States (Ravinia Festival, Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, Lincoln Center, Boston Early Music Festival, Music of the Baroque,
etc.), Canada, Australia, and Spain. Annually, he authors several hundred
annotations, liner notes, and educational/outreach materials. Additionally, he
has remained active as an early-music performer (voice, wind instruments),
choral conductor, and church musician.

A passionate teacher, he received the Indiana
State University College of Arts and Sciences Education Excellence Award in
2000 and was nominated twice for the Distinguished Teaching Award at
Northwestern University.
